OUT OF THE MOULD

I told a very drunk friend at a pub about this art exhibition of jelly sculptures and he very profoundly said: “jelly is awesome.” As I write this in a sober state, I can’t help but agree with him. Jelly IS awesome and an entire exhibition of it will be Alice in Wonderland awesome! Jelly was used to preserve savoury dishes and as decoration in the 19th century. Inspired by this, Sydney artist Janet Tavener (pictured) used copper moulds from that era to create 20 sculptures that will be displayed at the historic Vaucluse House. So the next time you have an interior design dilemma, think jelly.
